when George Bush was running for his first term. We accepted his win and hoped for the best.

Now, all we hear is whining by upset republicans. And this is before the election! Face it. You have had 8 years of complete incompetence in a republican president. Global warming, stem cell research, two wars and disastrous financial conditions to name a few problems. Problems that existed before are worse. Problems that were not even imagined became reality. We have to solve these problems before it is too late.

We are all Americans. I am a self-employed small business owner. If I have to pay taxes to solve these problems, I would do it in a second. I don't like paying taxes, but taxes are necessary for the government to run. Let's for once work together to make this country a better place for our children. Let's give the next president a chance before he even takes office.
